How the Golden Oldies Study is Helping Us Understand Cancer in Golden Retrievers with Dr. Erin Hales
Description
Remember back in Episode 2 when we talked about the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study? Well, today I have some more golden retriever goodness for you.
My guest for you today is Dr. Erin Hales. She has a PhD in Animal Science from the University of California, Davis, and she is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Morris Animal Foundation where she is leading their Golden Oldies study.
The Golden Oldies Study is a sister study to the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study with the goal of trying to figure out why some golden retrievers live to old age (more than 12 years old) and why some succumb to cancer at an earlier age.
She's going to talk all about the study, refresh your memory about the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, tell you how you can participate in the Golden Oldies Study if you'd like to and share her passion for research. She is also reviewing all the ways that the Morris Animal Foundation is helping animals all around the world.
Tune in to find out how these studies are helping us to understand cancer and so much more in Golden Retrievers.
